About this listen
Grimbold Drake, influential patriarch of the Drake family, revels in his solitary life of order - a life which is thrown into chaos when his son pays him an unexpected visit, bringing with him a broken but gorgeous young man more than a millennium Grimbold’s junior. A man Grimbold instantly finds himself yearning to fix, protect, and claim.
Meek, subservient, and eager to please, Wally Brand doesn’t doubt the tales he’s been told of the cruel and deceitful Amethyst clan. So, when he’s forcibly taken from his home and entrusted to Grimbold Drake - the most powerful Amethyst dragon of all - he knows he won’t be long for this world.
Only, there’s a gleam in Grimbold’s eyes when he looks Wally’s way and a tenderness to his touch that Wally can’t understand. All he knows is one thing: Whether Grimbold means him harm or not, if he can be good to his dragon captor, maybe...just maybe, he’ll get out of this mess alive.
Swallow is a steamy omegaverse mpreg-ish romance set following the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It contains a broken young man who badly needs love, a curmudgeonly dragon with a heart of gold, new nicknames, familiar faces, and the sweetest dog known to dragonkind.
For maximum enjoyment, Swallow is best listened to as a companion piece to the Forbidden Desires series.

Bookish, snarky, and fiercely independent Nate Boudreaux leads a solitary life. Between teaching classes at the university and working toward his PhD, he doesn’t need a partner to occupy his time, and he certainly doesn’t need a man like Alistair Drake complicating his future. Alistair Drake, black sheep of the tremendously wealthy Drake family, is more interested in adding another notch to his bedpost than another zero to his bank account.

Story
It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Even if he is sexy and supports Samuel on his quest to find the lost Sousa Mage Clan. Utterly beside the point. He does not need a dragon boyfriend. (Un)fortunately, Dimitri disagrees.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

A wonderful age gap omegaverse
First of all don’t let the length of the story fool you. Though it a novella the story is well developed and the characters are well rounded. I love seeing this side of the head of the amethyst clan. His care and compassion for Swallow(Walter) moved me to tears. Walter is so broken by the abuse he suffered in his clan’s hands and I love how well suited they are. Totally enjoyed the immersive experience that is Michael’s narration. He just brought out all the feels. I will definitely recommend you listen to the previous books in the series because of the world building. The characters from previous books do have cameo in this one and I don’t know how he kept them straight in his head. Get it! Worth every penny.

Love this series
Getting past what happened to Walter, it was a fairly low angst read. It took a little bit for Grim to show him that he was safe and wanted.

Wally and Grimbold were perfect!
This book will make you fall in love with the Drake patriarch. Grim takes Wally under his dragonny wing, and he flourishes beautifully under his care and love.
We also get to spend time with our favorite doctor and his scrumptious pork chop!
Absolutely loved it! I could read about this universe ALL DAY!

It’s Grandpa Grimmy’s turn
An omega who has been treated very unkindly who is fragile and scared meets a kind, sweet, protective, dragon. Wally had no idea such a thing existed. Grim is finally settled and he’s so sweet I think I got a cavity. Good addition to the series.

Loved this hurt/comfort age gap romance!
Narration: Michael Ferraiuolo has done a stellar job narrating this book and the main series. I can’t believe how many unique voices he can do! And his narration of the spicy scenes? Perfection!
Story: It grabbed me from the first chapter and I read it in one sitting. I’m glad we get to see Grimbold find love! I wasn’t sure he’d get his own story, so this was a pleasant surprise. And Wally is such a sweetheart! I’m such a sucker for hurt/comfort with a protective lover and this hit all the buttons. My only complaint? It was so short! This book could have been double the pages and I would have loved every moment. Especially if we could have gotten more of Sassy Wally. But I’m glad we got their story and I’m looking forward to more in this world.

Perfection
I absolutely LOVED the Forbidden Desires Series, and was so excited when the spin-off came out! I wasn't ready to give up the world with snarky, yet lovable dragons and the men they love! Though this isn't a "typical" mpreg story, I loved the unique way the dragons and humans have their children. In Swallow, we get a chance to see some of our favorite characters from the Forbidden Desires Sereis - which is a joy for anyone who enjoyed that series! The unique part of this book/series, is the relationships between the dragons and men are not perfect from the start! The nature of the dragons means a rocky start to these encounters, allowing for some fun and entertaining dialogues and situations!
The narration by Michael Ferraiuolo was absolute perfection! He is able to perfectly execute both the level of snark and attitude of the dragons, while also coming across as sweet and loving when called for.
Can't wait for more!

always knew Grim was a softie!
Would I listen to it again: absolutely
Did the story keep me engaged: completely
Was I invested in the characters: totally
Story comment: Another great addition to the Forbidden Desires series, it would be best enjoyed if the reader is familiar with the dynamics of this Dragon shifter series, it could be a little confusing if you are unfamiliar with the other characters and some of the terms.
I enjoyed Grim's story and i'm happy he got a second chance at love and we got to see see a softer side of the gruff Drake patriarch - I wish this had been a full length novel, Grim and Wally are a great couple and I would have liked to see more of their time together.
I can't imagine a better narrator for this book. Michael Ferraiuolo's narration style is perfect for this series. Each character has a separate voice to the narrative that reflects the character's personality and accent perfectly. His rhythm, inflections and intonations all work to bring the story to life.

Grimbold gets his Mate
I loved this book, and the audio just makes it even better. Michael Ferraiuolo's narration is always amazing and he nailed Grimbold and Wally.
Wally is so sweet and his love of all things Buffy and Giles is adorable. I loved seeing Grimbold's patience and care of Wally. And it's great to see all the familiar faces. If you've read the original series, have no fear, Everard's nicknames continue. This is easily one of my favorite books and audios.

His Safe Place
Swallow was an omega who was treated like dirt under ones shoe and who was always looking for the next hit, one who didnt understand compassion and care.
When he was thrust into a new world, he was lost.
Grimbold Drake was a gentle sould underneath his tough exterior and all he needed was a broken soul to take care of.
This plot was on the sweeter side and I enjoyed seeing these characters build a bond of trust and care.
The narration was fantastic and I loved that Michael stayed true to Grimbolds previous voice. A real treat to listen to.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful story set in the world of the Forbidden Desires series. Wally comes to live with Grimbold and he expects to be abused as he was in the pedigree. Grim is so gentle and caring with Wally and soon Wally learns to trust him. It was nice to see some of the other characters from the Forbidden Desires series in this story. I would love to see more stories from this world.
Narrator Michael Ferraiuolo does an absolutely amazing job in bringing these characters to life.
